　　Deuteronomy 7:9 In-Context

　　7 The Lord did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples.

　　8 But it was because the Lord loved you and kept the oath he swore to your ancestors that he brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

　　9 Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.

　　10 But those who hate him he will repay to their face by destruction; he will not be slow to repay to their face those who hate him.

　　11 Therefore, take care to follow the commands, decrees and laws I give you today.

Left-wing college administrators are a mirror of American political reality
Samuel J. Abrams’ article Think Professors Are Liberal? Try School Administrators published by the New York Times last October was a turning point in his life. Abrams, a political science professor at Sarah Lawrence College, has been living through a hellish backlash that involved “a national media storm in which I was slandered and defamed, my family’s safety was threatened, and my personal property was destroyed on campus.” His sin? He called our attention to the fact that administrators of...
Should Notre Dame be rebuilt to reflect secularism?
The flames that consumed the spire of Notre Dame and burned the 856-year-old church to its foundations could have been doused by the tears of the faithful. If France heeds calls to rebuild the cathedral as a reflection of what modern “French people want,” the new structure may be flooded by their tears. The fire, whose origins remain under investigation, was initially reported to have left little more than medieval stones, rose windows,and – make of this what you will...
New video of Rev. Robert Sirico: ‘Defending the Free Market: The Moral Case for a Free Economy’
Earlier this month Fr. Robert Sirico delivered an address to the Liberty Forum of Silicon Valley titled, ‘Defending the Free Market: The Moral Case for a Free Economy’. The talk begins with an account of a formative childhood experience which first kindled in him a passion for justice. Fr. Robert then describes his own journey from left-wing activism to ing an advocate for free markets. He describes how exploring questions at the heart of economic theory caused him to look...
Free market environmentalism: Conserving and collaborating with nature
In an age of rapid industrialization and ever-accelerating technological change, many have grown fearful of environmental neglect and impending natural catastrophe. Such concerns tend to be based in a pessimistic view of economic opportunity, through which more individual ownership will surely lead to more reckless exploitation. Yet the bigger story of our newfound economic freedom and prosperity would seem to paint a different picture—one in which the expansion of economic ownership is actually helping us better protect and preserve our...
As Notre Dame burns, the Cross stands firm
Many mented on the fact that Paris’s Notre Dame Cathedral burned during Holy Week (see here or here or here for just a few examples), and rightfully so — the symbolism of death and the hope of resurrection is hard to miss. Particularly striking were the images of the cathedral’s golden cross still standing amid the wreckage. It being Holy Week, my first thoughts were three traditional invocations of the Cross of Christ. First was the motto of the Carthusians,...
Why ‘national service’ is misguided nationalism
Earlier this week two presidential candidates ments that how nationalism is dominating American politics. The first came when South Bend mayor Pete Buttigieg told Rachel Maddow “national service will e one of the themes of [my] 2020 campaign.” He said he hopes to “make it, if not legally obligatory, then a social norm.” This in itself is not all that surprising since promoting national service is part of the Democrat Party platform: We believe in the power of national service...
7 Figures: How long do criminals spend in prison?
As the old saying goes, “If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.” But how much time do you have to do if mit a crime? Probably not as long as you’d imagine. The Bureau of Justice Statistics recently released a report—Time Served in State Prison 2016—that reveals how long prisoners serve for a variety of criminal offenses. Here are seven figures from the report you should know: 1. The average time served by state prisoners released in...
Alejandro Chafuen in Forbes: Bringing China and the West together with the help of Meng-Tzu
The ancient Chinese philosopher Meng-Tzu is usually known to Westerners by his Latinized name Mencius, if he is known to them at all. Though not famous outside his native China, Meng-Tzu left us many ideas worthy of consideration, and these often have unexpected parallels with more modern and familiar thinkers. Alejandro Chafuen, Acton’s Managing Director, International, examines some of these parallels in a piece published today for Forbes. Chafuen argues that Meng-Tzu’s ideas are worth remembering not only for their...

After that, research associate Dan Hugger sits down with Acton’s president and co-founder Rev. Robert Sirico to discuss current issues in education, including some of Betsy Devos’s policies. Check out additional resources for this podcast: France’s churches...
A secular Jew makes a surprising discovery about Christians and American slavery
“Christians ended slavery. Do you think that’s a conservative simpleton’s mock-worthy bombast, embarrassing the rest of us with his black-and-white, unapologetic caricature of American history?” asks John B. Carpenter in this week’s Acton Commentary. “No. It is the considered conclusion of a Nobel laureate, a munist, a secular Jew, and arguably the foremost scholar on American slavery.” The moral question: If Southern slavery was profitable, even providing for the slaves a relatively decent material life, then why is it evil?...
